Chapter 143 Nephew looks like uncle
Bai Ruxue followed the old aunt all the way, and Bai Daliang pushed the bicycle for her. They walked for almost half an hour before arriving at the old aunt's house.
It is a large courtyard. There are more than ten families living in the courtyard. It is noisy as soon as you enter the courtyard. There are people washing clothes, cooking, and children playing in groups. It is very chaotic.
When they saw them coming in, they all looked over, and the old lady who wanted to do something bad asked aloud.
"Xianglan! Is this a relative of yours? Is he from Brother Lao Zhong's side?"
"Sister Lin, these are my nephew and grand-niece!" The old aunt seemed to get along well with each other, looking at each other and answering with a smile.
Because her natal family never had visitors and they all lived in a large courtyard, everyone knew everything, so it was understandable for Bai Xianglan to ask this question.
"But this... looks too much like Brother Lao Zhong. Otherwise, some people would believe your son!" Old Mrs. Lin said without saying anything, and added another sentence.
"Sister Lin, don't be joking. This is my eldest brother's son! Okay! Let's not talk about it for now! I'm going back to the house!" Old aunt Bai Xianglan only thought that the other party was joking, and walked into her house with a smile, not forgetting to say hello.
Father and daughter.
But she didn't take it seriously, but Bai Ruxue had a conspiracy in her heart.
She has always suspected that her father was not her biological child.
She didn't have any doubts if her father took after her old aunt's appearance, but how could he take after her old aunt and grandpa who couldn't be beaten by eight poles?
When she followed the house, she found that the old aunt's house was quite small, and the compound they lived in was also quite old.
She carefully followed her to the old aunt's bedroom, because the things were piled up in the outer room. There were a lot of them and it was very messy, as if she was about to move.
When she walked into the bedroom, it was neat and tidy, with no dust at all.
"Xiaoxue! Sit down quickly! My aunt will make some sugar water for you!" Bai Xianglan led the person to sit on the kang, and then hurriedly went out to pour water.
Bai Ruxue looked at everything in the room.
There is only one kang cabinet on the kang, and there is nothing else. It is not neat and tidy, and there is only one stool on the ground.
There was a portrait hanging on the wall. Bai Ruxue took a closer look and found that he really looked a bit like her father.
"Dad, have you noticed that you seem a bit like an old aunt!" Bai Ruxue thought so and said it.
"Xiaoxue, don't talk nonsense. That old lady was joking with your aunt just now! How can dad be like your aunt and grandpa!" Bai Daliang scolded.
"Really! If you don't believe it, look at it! The contours of the eyebrows and eyebrows are very similar!" Bai Ruxue pointed at the portrait and said.
"Keep talking nonsense, Dad will get angry! What will happen if my aunt hears this!" Bai Daliang said with a serious face.
Bai Ruxue didn't say anything more to him and just looked at the portrait.
In the portrait, the old aunt and grandpa looked like they were when they were young, with a smile on their faces, but one look in their eyes showed that he was an honest and honest man.
"Come on, big food, Xiaoxue! Drink some sugar water!" At this moment, the old aunt came in with two cups.
"Why did you give me sugar water too? What a waste!" Bai Daliang was a little embarrassed.
He just came to pay homage to his deceased old uncle! Although he has no contact with the family these years, he can never forget that she helped him when he was in the most difficult time.
"Auntie, do you have any other photos of my uncle?" Bai Ruxue is impatient. She can't wait until she discovers a clue. She wants to know the answer immediately.
"Yes, my aunt will find it for you and have a look!" Bai Xianglan did not doubt that he was there, got on the kang, searched in the kang cabinet for a while, and took out a few black and white photos.
"Here! Your great-aunt didn't like taking pictures when she was alive. This is also the time when a relative who runs a photo studio came to the house and reluctantly took a few pictures!" The old aunt got off the kang and handed the photos to Bai Ruxue.
Bai Ruxue looked over and saw the same background and the same clothes as on the portrait, but with different expressions and different movements.
"Auntie..." Bai Ruxue wanted to ask him, but as soon as she started speaking, her father Bai Daliang stopped her.
"Auntie, where are Brother Gangzi? Why aren't you at home?" Bai Daliang didn't give his daughter a chance to talk nonsense.
"I don't know what he's doing out there again. Since his wife ran away, he's been doing nothing but drinking and playing cards all day long. No, today he's going to take care of his succession, but he won't go with him!"
When Bai Xianglan was asked about her son, her face was filled with sadness.
She only gave birth to one son, but the son had a bad personality and married a wife. She ran away within two years, and he became even worse after that.
Apart from doing their jobs and gambling, the money earned by the couple is not enough for him alone.
The reason why the house is so chaotic is because after his father died, the son has been nervous all day long, saying that his father must have hidden money, and he was either digging through the cabinets or digging in the house all day long.
His father couldn't control him when he was here, and Bai Xianglan couldn't control him even more.
"Didn't you marry again?" Bai Daliang asked.
Because he knew that the daughter-in-law of my aunt’s only son ran away.
But Brother Gangzi was still young at that time, not even twenty years old, so he could definitely marry another one.
"No, my trustee introduced me to many good girls, but he just didn't want her, and we tried all our methods! Sigh..." Speaking of this son, Bai Xianglan sighed. Now she was unable to do what she wanted, so she let him go!
She is about to reach the age of retirement. She has worried about her son all her life, and she has reached the age to let go.
Auntie, how old is my uncle?" Bai Ruxue was still a little unwilling to be changed by his father.
"Speaking of which, steel and grain were born at the same time! My sister-in-law and I both had dystocia, and we were in the town health center! This child almost killed me... After that, he was injured, and he never had any children.
What a blessing! Sister-in-law, she is recovering well!" Bai Xianglan said, tears almost coming down.
If she could have had more children, she wouldn't have been teased by her mother-in-law, and she wouldn't be so helpless now.
If her parents had not favored her brothers, they would not have married her to a husband ten years older than her regardless of her wishes.
Now that he has passed away and left behind such a son, what can she, a woman of a family, do?
"Born in the same hospital? Or in the same health center?" A message exploded in Bai Ruxue's mind. Could it be that Mrs. Bai deliberately dropped the child when she saw that her aunt and uncle both had jobs?
The more Bai Ruxue thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. With the character of old Mrs. Bai, she would definitely be able to do such a thing.
In addition, his father looks so much like his great-aunt, so the classroom is unclear about this.
"Yes! There was a lot of trouble at that time, and the two families even had conflicts." Bai Xianglan nodded firmly.
"Auntie...Who does my uncle Gangzi look like?" Bai Ruxue asked again.
"Uncle Gangzi! He looks like me! But his personality doesn't follow me at all! He doesn't follow his father's honesty and honesty! I don't know what I did in my previous life to give birth to such a scoundrel." Bai Xianglan was furious and hated it.
He said that iron cannot become steel.
"Xiaoxue, did you hear that? Your Uncle Gang looks like your aunt! Stop talking nonsense!" Bai Daliang didn't know what happened to his daughter today, but he just held on to what the old lady said just now.
